so you've got a 4ton unit with 3/8 & 7/8 lines. wholesale price from Johnstone Supply for an uncased coil for that is basically $415 and a new 410a copeland scroll compressor is $820. so much hassle to replace them though, then what if it doesn't work properly?
better to have peace of mind for the next decade+ with a new system & warranty.

DAMMIT.. absolutely correct. I was typing condenser when I meant compressor all this time. No wonder I was making no sense.
I personally don't know jack, I am going off what someone else told them. But apparently the a-coil is rusted out and leaking.
They are getting quoted $2200 to replace the current air handler and recharge the system. Of course this would all still be r-22. That just seems to me to be fairly steep even considering the recharge to be $600 of that.. that means just replacing the air handler is costing $1600.
They are getting quoted between $6 and $7k to pull it all out and replace with R410a system.
The whole thing is a bit of a cluster**** to begin with. This system is just for the front of the house, basically 3 large rooms. The rest of the house is on a separate system.
